Jersey Shore Alpacas

IMPORTANT: PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT US FOR AVAILABILITY WITHOUT VISITING OUR WEBSITE FIRST for complete schedule information. Closed Sundays. Due to COVID, we will be open BY APPOINTMENT ONLY, but we are booking well in advance. Fleece and Fun for Everyone! Jersey Shore Alpacas is a small, friendly farm located in Green Creek, just north of Cape May, NJ (about 3 hours from NYC). Please see our website for more information on visiting the farm. :) You'll love meeting our curious alpacas and browsing in our shop for soft, warm alpaca clothing and cuddly toys! We also carry more than 20 different types of alpaca yarn from Blue Sky Fibers, Alpaca Yarn Company, and farm yarn (when available). Hope to see you soon!

So worth the trip - we were staying less than 10 minutes away and I decided to surprise my family. We'd never been to an Alpaca farm before so my wife and two teenage sons were very surprised - and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Jim was our host - he had the necessary handwashing and sanitizing station prepared. After a short introduction, he provided us bags of carrots (teats for the Alpacas) and walked us to the pen to see the male Alpacas, followed soon after by female Alpaca in their pen. Jim was an awesome host, answered all our questions, and taught us all about Alpaca - they are such friendly animals. This visit was definitely worth the time and money!

Cape May Lighthouse

The 1859 Cape May Lighthouse is fully restored and visitors can climb 199 steps to the top for a breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay. The original Oil Storage Building is accessible and houses a Museum Shop and accessible displays. Open daily from April through November and weekends in the shoulder seasons. Evening trolley tours and Full Moon Climbs offered during the summer season. The Cape May Lighthouse has been restored and is managed by the non-profit Cape May MAC (Museums + Arts + Culture). While located at Cape May Point State Park, it is not affiliated with State Park System. The State Park is open sunrise to sunset and offers many opportunities for nature lovers, including the Hawk Watch platform and well-marked nature trails. Summertime programming is offered to introduce visitors to the history of the Lighthouse and is free of charge. The beach is free but swimming is not allowed. The park is “carry in, carry out;” please do not litter.

The lighthouse is a must see stop. Even if you don’t climb the stairs to the top it truly is amazing. Great history lesson and information from the kindest gentleman (Jim) working the gift shop. Adequate parking. Easily accessible. Clean restrooms.

Absolutely one of the cleanest, largest and most importantly free beaches in New Jersey. After spending time here you will not want to go anyplace else.

Ocean City Boardwalk

With its quaint storefronts, amusement rides and Music Pier, Ocean City is everything you'd expect from the real Jersey shore. This family-friendly town boasts a two-mile boardwalk dotted with amusements, pizza parlors, and seaside stores.

Almost Always a great idea. Get great exercise walking or in the morning riding a bike or surrey. If you aren't feeling energized sit on one of the many benches a spend some time people watching. So Much Fun! Stores are great I love Marty's and of course the phenominal food--Johnson Popcorn, Curley's Fries, Funnel Cake, Fudge, Ice Cream, Salt Water Taffy, etc.. ok I love the food. Go into Shriver's and get a fabulous Candy Apple --sooooo good yum

Cape May Winery & Vineyard

Here at the Cape May Winery, we pride ourselves on maintaining a family-owned and operated business that provides our customers with quality wines, exceptional service, and a relaxing atmosphere that makes everyone feel a part of our family after the first sip! The Cape May Winery’s journey began in 1989 with the planting of the first vines in Cape May County which started our Townbank Vineyard. Today, we grow 11 different varietals across 4 vineyards totaling 26 acres. As you can imagine, a lot has happened over the years! We invite you to be a part of our story during your next visit to Cape May and take a journey all your own through one of our tastings or tours. Wander through the many different rooms that make up the winery, explore our beautiful grounds, and and enjoy tapas from our kitchen all while discovering your own passion for wine. Cheers!

This water park is the best!! Clean, comfortable and outstanding supervision by the lifeguards!! Raging Waters is a deal... we try to go during the week days, so there aren’t too many people. Love the Lazy River! The children’s area is well maintained and supervised. There is plenty of table space for eating, and food prices aren’t out of sight. Restrooms are very clean and maintained. No visit to the shore is complete unless you visit Morey’s water park!

Willow Creek Winery

Stunning Fifty Acre winery and farm. Open every day at noon for outdoor dining. Fire Pit Friday with live music 6-9pm. Full farm-to-table grill menu, reservations strongly suggested. Gorgeous gardens. The only winery and tasting room on Cape May Island. Just a short bike ride, walk or drive from all Cape May beaches and attractions.

Just discovered Willow Creek on our most recent trip to Cape May and absolutely loved it! The grounds and winery are beautiful, and the outdoor bar (and bartenders!) couldn’t be nicer! Beth took care of us on both our visits and made my kids’ day with her special (i.e., non-alcoholic) frozen daiquiris. We enjoyed yummy food, good sangria and, best of all, CORN HOLE! They’ve got multiple boards with tables set up next to the outdoor bar. It was the perfect way to spend the afternoon with our kids. Bob and Season also couldn’t be nicer (and thanks, Bob, for helping us out with our scavenger hunt!). We’ll definitely be back for the wonderful food, scenery, and hospitality!
